The fuselage is the long main body of a plane — the tube people sit in, or that goods are packed into. The wings, tail, and engines are fixed to it, but they are not the fuselage. If you look at a plane from the side, the fuselage is the long middle part from nose to tail. Engineers, accident reports, and news stories use the word; everyday speakers often just say “the body of the plane”. Though actually, it is not only for passenger jets: a small plane, a fighter, and a cargo aircraft all have a fuselage. The word was borrowed from French, and the shape idea is “like a spindle” — thicker in the middle, toward the ends.
From the word’s history
Borrowed from French fuselage, ultimately from Latin fusus 'spindle'.
借自法文 fuselage，源自拉丁文 fusus「紡錘」：形狀像紡錘。
組成Borrowed from French fuselage. Ultimately from Latin fūsus (spindle). The French built it on the idea of shaping something like a spindle; English took the whole word.
